“In a breakthrough in its sustained counter-terrorism efforts, the SIA Kashmir has secured an Interpol Red Corner Notice (RCN) against designated Hizbul Mujahideen (HM) terrorist Imtiyaz Ahmad Kandoo alias Fayaz alias Sajad,” the officials said.

They said Kandoo, a resident of Kraltang, Sopore, has been an active member and commander of the proscribed terrorist outfit Hizbul Mujahideen since 2010.
